Title: Need advice on good headphones for gaming
Post by: captmorgan72 on June 14, 2012, 12:20:44 AM
Anybody have a recommendation? I broke my NOX headphones and now need a replacement.

eh, I presume this reply will probably be too late, but as no-one else responded thought I'd throw in a suggestion for a pair of gamecom 780's, I was previously using a rather expensive pair of turtle beach headphones, but they're not made in any fantastic fashion, and eventually the thin plastic bracket on one of the ears snapped, the gamecom 780's have a much thicker base, some metal reinforcement, are very comfortable, have a built in 7.1 soundcard for emulated surround sound (amazing quality) and the mic is reported to be the clearest I have used (again, flexible but a reinforced design, with noise filter)
they're also a good £30+ cheaper than Logitech's 7.1 headphones, which would be my second recommendation if you want the -best- and not to worried about money.

Thanks for your reply Bunny, but I ended up buying these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BU0DPE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 So far I really like them.

Turtle beach is a good choice, my last headset was this one:

you just have to be careful with where the ear pieces pivot at the headband, that's where mine broke, but then I did fall asleep on em >.>
